Exclamation What should oil pressure be?

I have an SES light on right now and was looking at the oil pressure...

when at idle the pressure is about 18

when cruising its at about 33

I just checked the oil and i need to add some, so i will just do an oil change. let me know what you think about the pressure numbers and if they are off

I have not changed the oil yet because the oil light is not on, but i turn on the car and light is not on, but after 1 minute it comes on and 10 seconds later the fans kick on. The temp on the car is about 195 - 200 so why are they fans coming on, dont they come on at around 220?!?!?!

your oil pressure seems to be alright but when your SES light comes on the cooling fans come on automatically

But i started to look through everything and found that i had a yellow # 20 fuse out, what fuse is that?

Replaced it and light is off.

I believe that might be the air pump!
